For the first time ever, the Baseball Writers' Association of America crowned a National League Reliever of the Year.

While Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill finished third in the voting, he was one of three pitchers on this team to receive votes.

In the end, the San Diego Padres' Mason Miller was the unanimous winner, but Jackson Chourio would be quick to remind Miller who won that battle in Game 2 of the NL Division Series.

Regardless, this is a regular season award, and that's incredibly notable with how some of these votes unfolded.

Had the postseason been included, there's no doubt Aaron Ashby would've received far more votes than he did.

For reference, Megill, a finalist, received two second-place votes, 11 third-place votes, 11 fourth-place votes, and three fifth-place votes.

Ashby finished ninth with one vote for third place, fourth place, and fifth place.

That wasn't all, though, as Abner Uribe also got in on the party, tying for 11th with Brandyn Garcia as the pair received one fourth-place vote each.

Two of the top four vote-getters were both on the Padres, but in the end it was the Brewers who were tied with the Atlanta Braves as each team had three players receive votes.

For Atlanta, it was Raisel Iglesias, Didier Fuentes, and Dylan Lee. Iglesias is currently a free agent, but he wrapped up his time with the Braves by finishing fifth place with 17 points.

Megill, who finished third, had 66 points. He received the most of any Brewers player, by far, as Ashby had six points himself and Uribe added two.

Fuentes had 10 points for the Braves, and Lee added three, but it was the Brewers who came out on top with 74 points compared to the Braves' 30.

A potential trade could be in Megill's future, but if not, all three of these bullpen arms will be back in the fold next season.

Milwaukee's bullpen in 2027 will have some differences, no doubt, but it would once again be one of the most feared in baseball if Uribe, Ashby, and Megill come out for those final three innings.

Ashby's postseason dominance may have solidified his role as this team's new closer, but that's a spot Uribe also thrived in when now three-time NL Manager of the Year Pat Murphy removed Megill from his role all the way back in April.
